Two people who were travelling in the lorry have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving - say the Nottingham Post.

The road is likely to be closed throughout rush hour on Wednesday morning in both directions from the Oakham turning and at Colsterworth – and is likely to cause delays for motorists travelling into Cambridgeshire from Peterborough.

The force said in a statement giving details of the arrests: "The investigation into this incident is in its early stages and the number of people who were travelling inside the car and their identities are still being established.

"The A1 has been closed in both directions from the Oakham turning and at Colsterworth. It is believed the road will be closed for some time as investigations take place and vehicle recovery is carried out."

Those travelling northbound should leave the A1 at Stamford and follow the solid black circle symbol on local road signs, according to Highways England.
